Emergency Preparedness

Leak Recognition and Response
Using your sense of sight, sound, and smell will help you recognize a suspected leak.
- Sight - bubbles in wet areas, dead vegetation, blowing dust or flames.
- Sound - hissing or roaring sound
- Smell - sulfur or rotten egg smell
Natural gas is intentionally odorized so that the average person can smell it easily. Natural gas is flammable and can be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. If you think you have a leak follow these rules to avoid causing a spark, fire or explosion:
- DON'T flip a light switch or ring a doorbell.
- DON'T light a match or a cigarette.
- DON'T use your phone, tablet, computer or other mobile devices.
- DON'T open or close your windows or garage door.
- DON'T start your vehicle if nearby.
Right-of-Way Encroachment
Rights-of-way (land where buried pipelines and other gas equipment are located) should be kept clear of obstructions to enable employees and contractors to safely operate, patrol, inspect, maintain, and repair the pipelines.
